November Beauty Favorites

Wow 2013 is going super fast! December is my favorite month of the year. Everyone just seems to be a bit nicer, a bit more patient and a bit more giving.

November was a great month for me, it saw the beginnings of a lot of new friendships, time with family and finally hitting a stride when it comes to an exercise routine. It also saw the inclusion of some new beauty products into my daily routines.

Beauty Faves

*Thayers Alcohol-Free Unscented Witch Hazel
I'm not a fan of washing my face in the morning. I splash some water on my face and use a toner instead. I've been experimenting with natural toners and a lot of people recommended alcohol free witch hazel. I was always leery of witch hazel because of the drying factor of the alcohol, but I decided to give the alcohol free version a try. It's fantastic! I use it on a cotton pad every morning and it removes any left over residue on my skin and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean without feeling dry.

*Elf Studio Angled Foundation Brush- This brush is really thin and flimsy and definitely can not be used as a foundation brush. However, I love this brush to apply my facial masks. It keeps my hands from getting messy and applies masks in a nice even layer.

*Tarte Lipsurgence in Energy- This Tarte lippie is one of those products that reacts to your body heat. Applied lightly it's a beautiful natural pink color, apply a bit more and it turns into more of a light fuchsia like pink. I got this mini in the Tarte's Thoughtful Treasure's Set and I've really been enjoying it!

*Pur Minerals 4 in 1 Foundation in Blush Medium- I bought this from Hautelook several months ago and was hoping to just use it as a regular mineral foundation. However, no matter what primer I use this foundation makes my pores look huge. I began experimenting with this product using it in different ways. When I used it over a foundation it provided the most beautiful, flawless coverage. I don't use it every day, but if I'm going out and I want to bump up my medium coverage foundation to full coverage I definitely use this.
